Abstract: Successful engagement of stakeholders and scientists is essential when regulatory agencies want public input to environmental policy decisions that are technically complex. Standards of good practice for public involvement ...

Abstract: A simple formulation is presented that predicts the nonlinear small strain behavior of cemented and uncemented granular soils. Its performance is evaluated through the comparison of model predictions to results from ...

Abstract: Using the recorded response at two vertical array sites, the SimSoil model presented in the companion paper is evaluated. The SimSoil model, which describes the small strain nonlinear behavior of granular materials, is ...

Abstract: The Unidata program is described and the services and benefits it will provide to university educators and researchers are discussed.

Abstract: Analysis of METROMEX rainfall data and traffic accident reports for seven southern Illinois cities within the area of the St. Louis precipitation anomaly revealed a statistically significant increase in the number of ...

Abstract: With the atmospheric water-vapor content information available from the SEASAT and Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometers (SMMR), differences in water-vapor distribution between cyclonic storms in different ...

Abstract: Patterns in the horizontal distribution of integrated water vapor, integrated liquid water and rainfall rate derived from the Seasat Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) during a 10?12 September 1978 North ...

Abstract: he predictability of North Pacific cyclones can vary widely, from highly accurate prediction of storm intensity and location to forecast position errors of hundreds of kilometers and central pressure errors of tens of ...

Abstract: Rapidly deepening cyclones in midlatitudes are characterized by large cloud shields and abundant condensation qualitatively evident in infrared and visible satellite images. With the availability of passive microwave ...
